Chapter 71

"我不知道你是什么来头，不过你今日让我吕凡丢了这么大的脸，事情可不会就这么轻而易举的算了的！" the young man with long hair glared at Ye Zhong, his eyes filled with unmasked anger.

"Did I tell you to stop?" Ye Zhong seemed to ignore him, his gaze sweeping over the dozen or so followers of Lu Fan.

"Slap—"

Under Ye Zhong's gaze, one of them subconsciously slapped himself. This time, even Lu Fan's eyes twitched violently.

Is this guy bullying people too much?

"A bunch of trash!" Lu Fan, his face full of anger, kicked the person who had slapped himself away, then glared at Ye Zhong with murderous intent. After he appeared, Ye Zhong still dared to act like this, clearly not taking him seriously.

"Are you the one who was behind the scenes, ordering these trash to try to seize the courtyard my brother rented?" Ye Zhong's gaze shifted to Lu Fan, "Although I don't know why you have the nerve to target my brother, if you slap yourself a hundred times, we can consider this matter settled."

"What!?"

"Is this guy who came out of nowhere crazy? That's Lu Fan, ranked eighth among the top ten experts of the outer sect! Doesn't he know?"

"But if this guy has Senior Sister Su Yu backing him, he doesn't have to fear Lu Fan!"

"But Lu Fan has connections in the inner sect too, right? That person might not be afraid of Senior Sister Su Yu!"

A wave of murmurs spread around. Hearing these voices, Lu Fan finally noticed Su Yu standing not far behind Ye Zhong. His face turned cold, "Su Yu, we have no grudges or enmity. Why are you bringing people to challenge me!"

Su Yu innocently blinked but didn't say much.

"You talk too much." Ye Zhong shook his head, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes. He stared at Lu Fan and said slowly, "Rest assured, Senior Sister Su Yu won't bother with a piece of trash like you, and I'm not particularly interested in you either. However, since you're not willing to slap yourself and give my friend an explanation, I'll have to take matters into my own hands!"

Lu Fan was taken aback, as if he had heard a joke, and couldn't help but laugh. He scanned the scene and laughed loudly, "Did everyone hear that? He said he wants me to give him an explanation? Does he think that after I, Lu Fan, have appeared, I'll let him off?"

Hearing this, many of the surrounding experts looked at him strangely. Lu Fan was skilled and had strong backing in the inner sect. This guy who had suddenly appeared probably hadn't realized these facts yet.

"Kid, I'm giving you a chance now. Kneel down and slap yourself. Otherwise, you won't have a good day in the Star Formation Sect from now on." After laughing for a while, Lu Fan's gaze finally fell back on Ye Zhong, and he said coldly.

"Kneel down and then slap myself?"

Ye Zhong nodded, then calmly extended his right hand and gently bent it, "Go ahead. But rest assured, as long as you kneel down and slap yourself, we can easily put this matter behind us, right?"

Ye Zhong's indifferent words made Lu Fan's eyes instantly sharp and cold. In his view, this kid who had appeared out of nowhere should have been scared to his knees when he saw him. But to still provoke him in this situation was something he didn't want to see.

"Arrogant and ignorant!"

Lu Fan sneered, then took a step forward, his hands crossing. With his movement, his internal qi and blood surged, and a terrifying pressure spread out, causing many of the surrounding onlookers to change their expressions. Even Wang Mo looked worried. Only Su Yu looked at Lu Fan with pity.

Fourth level of Body Tempering, the Tendon Transformation stage! However, Lu Fan's strength should be a bit stronger than Chu Yun, probably just one step away from advancing to the fifth level, the Meridian Opening stage?

"Kid, even if you regret it now, it's already too late!"

Lu Fan's eyes were cold, his lips curled, and his figure suddenly shot forward. His right palm instantly turned golden, like a golden palm print, fiercely sweeping towards Ye Zhong. Clearly, Lu Fan had no intention of holding back and planned to kill or cripple this kid who didn't know when to die with his first move!

Watching this terrifying attack, Ye Zhong's expression didn't change. In the next moment, five Asura Sword Seals quickly condensed at the tip of his fist, and with a punch, they instantly shot forward!

"Bang—"

In almost no time, the fist and palm collided, and the intense sound of the collision spread out.

"Spit—"

Lu Fan's figure suddenly trembled, his right arm twisting like a pretzel, and he was thrown back, hitting the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

One move! Just one move without any evasion, and Lu Fan was defeated so miserably and decisively?

At this moment, the entire scene was filled with gasps of shock, and many people looked at this scene in disbelief. Who was this guy who suddenly appeared? How could he be so strong?

And Lu Fan's followers were all dumbfounded. Although they knew Ye Zhong was very strong, they never expected that even their leader, ranked ninth among the top ten experts of the outer sect, Lu Fan, wasn't even a match for him! Who was this guy?

Even Wang Mo was slightly stunned, though his face showed genuine joy. Although he didn't know why his brother had suddenly become so strong, he was genuinely happy for him.

Only Su Yu's expression remained unchanged. When this Lu Fan came, she already knew the outcome. The so-called top ten experts of the outer sect probably only the top five had the qualifications to face Ye Zhong. As for the other outer sect disciples, dealing with them was almost like slicing vegetables for Ye Zhong.

"Who... who are you!" Lu Fan struggled to get up, his face flushed as he spoke.

"Spit—"

Ye Zhong's figure flashed, appearing in front of him, and he kicked him away without hesitation.

"Who... who are you..."

"Spit—"

"Who..."

"Spit—"

Without giving Lu Fan a chance to speak, Ye Zhong kicked him repeatedly. This guy who had been arrogant from the start was kicked around like a dead dog, and in the end, he lost even the strength to spit blood.

At least ten of his ribs were broken, and his once handsome and cold appearance was now completely ruined. At this moment, the eighth-ranked expert of the outer sect, Lu Fan, had no trace of a master's demeanor.

"Bang—"

Ye Zhong's figure leaped up, and he stomped on Lu Fan's chest and abdomen, causing them to collapse instantly, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. If Ye Zhong hadn't held back, he would have killed Lu Fan on his first day in the Star Formation Sect.

"Ye Zhong! He's Ye Zhong! Chu Yun was beaten to the point of spitting blood by him just now! Even Chu Yun's master, Elder Zha Yu, couldn't do anything to him! It's said he's a new inner sect disciple of our Star Formation Sect, ranked 108!"

As the news spread, more and more Star Formation Sect disciples gathered. Someone finally recognized Ye Zhong after seeing this familiar scene.

"What? Ye Zhong? Could it be that Ye Zhong from the Ye family?"

"The difference is too great, isn't it?"

"Spit—"

Another mouthful of blood spewed out, and Lu Fan finally struggled to get up, his eyes filled with shock and uncertainty as he stared at Ye Zhong, "You're Ye Zhong? The Ye Zhong who completed the advanced mission with Su Yu?"

"So what if I am?" Ye Zhong said indifferently, preparing to continue his attack. He didn't realize how tough Lu Fan was.

"So it's you! Kid, you wait, this won't be over!" Lu Fan was extremely afraid of Ye Zhong. After getting up, he wanted to quickly escape, but he couldn't bring himself to lose face, so he glared and tried to regain some dignity.

"Do you remember what I said just now? If you forget, you won't be able to run." Ye Zhong didn't rush to attack, but his calm gaze made Lu Fan's body tremble subconsciously.

He naturally knew what Ye Zhong wanted him to do, but if he really knelt down and slapped himself, he might as well die!

"Ye Zhong! I won't kneel! I don't believe you'll dare to kill me here today!" Lu Fan said firmly, gritting his teeth.

"I won't kill you, that's the rule of the Star Formation Sect." Ye Zhong smiled, "You should be grateful. If this wasn't the Star Formation Sect, you would have died many times already. So rest assured, I won't take your life. However, if I break all your followers' limbs, I think the fellow disciples who have been bullied by you will take the opportunity to act. With so many people acting together, if someone goes a bit too far and accidentally kills a few, the law won't punish the many, and even the Star Formation Sect won't be able to do anything, right?"

"You—"

Seeing Ye Zhong's smiling face, Lu Fan suddenly shivered, a sense of regret welling up in his heart. What kind of existence had he provoked this time!
